I suggest anyone who doesnt want a gap do what I have done. I know several local businesses that have gone under and I have said I worked there before they went out of business. the phone number and address can come straight from a phone book, and you can make up a name of your superiors. as far as not having any futher contact info, well who has there bosses home phone number?
BTW I have done this twice and plan to again if necessary. dishonest? yes, but not as bad as the BS that OP just posted

I agree!! I have had to resort to doing this as well....we have to 'make the resume work' by any means necessary...
and make sure we are believable on the interview ( rehearse just like an actor)
it works
and if employers feel like this is immoral and wrong then they need not always expect people with unrealistic backgrounds anyway!!!edit on 23-10-2010 by ButterCookie because: (no reason given)

Hey I think the issue here is that you are an employer not an employee. You have absolutely zero idea how the job market is in the United States. I can say that with 100% certainty. The unemployment rate where I live is 20% +. In an area of 100,000 thats 20,000 people who can work who aren't at work.

Is it your personal belief that when the unemployment rate is low that more people are being less lazy? And not that there are no jobs?
Originally posted by SeekerForLight
The fact is that its the latter. There are actually less jobs now than there were 5 years ago. And a larger population also.

When its do or die, and people are starving.... It's different. So different you don't have any idea what it is like. Things like telling the truth and following laws become luxuries next to feeding children or having a roof over your head.

Lying on a resume should be
to close gaps a degree ( as long as it does not directly relate to the job....ie technician, nurse, lawyer, teacher, etc) former supervisors make dull job descriptions lively ( you can add to it as long as you are able to fake it til you make it
We should apply for jobs that we at least can be able to be trained on, as they are going to train us anyway.
Employers expect a robotic, absolutely perfect candidate to apply when that is just simply not realistic; more than likely, they're already employed.

Good Evening,
Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb here (flame suit on), but there are tons of opportunities right now..for people to make more money than they ever dreamed. For the most part, many are too lazy or misguided to actually do it.

What I had been saying in my earlier post, is that people who are lazy, people who will lie to get a job they can't do and don't deserve, are a plague on society.

I am Canadian and as we have 10% of the population you do, we also have about 10% of the opportunity.

This appears at first to be a clear case of a Canadian calling Americans lazy. However-->

Here you clearly pointed out that you said something completely different even though I quoted.

And Im super confused about this. A city of 100k is a city of 100k no matter where you live. I can understand if you live in a coal mine in the northern territories or something... It would be like living in Nebraska Im sure.
